Subsistence Allowance compulsory deductions

 12. KNOWLEDGE SPECTRUM - DISCIPLINE – Subsistence Allowance compulsory deductions

31.      A GS under suspension is entitled to draw DA and Interim relief on the subsistence allowance. Drawal of HRA and CCA shall be regulated on the basis of pay which he was in receipt on the date of suspension, subject to production of the required certificates for drawal of these allowances beyond 120 days. If the headquarters of a GS under suspension is changed in public interest, he will get the allowances admissible at the new station.

 

32.      The payment of subsistence allowance cannot be denied on any grounds  except when the GS fails to produce a non-employment certificate. If a GS under suspension pleads his inability to attend the inquiry on account of financial stringency caused by the non-payment of subsistence allowance, the proceedings conducted against him ex-parte would be in violation of the provisions of Article 311(2) of the constitution, as the GS did not receive a reasonable opportunity of defending himself.

 

33.      The following recoveries are compulsory from the subsistence allowance:

 

a.         Income tax, if payable

b.        House rent, charges of electricity, water, etc.

c.         Repayment of loans and advances

d.        CGHS contribution

e.         Contribution towards CGEIS 1977and CGEGIS, 1980
